Oregon senior right-hander Justin LaTempa on Tuesday was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association's national pitcher of the week after throwing a one-hitter in Saturday's 6-0 Pacific-10 Conference victory over Washington State at PK Park in Eugene.

LaTempa took a no-hitter into the eighth inning before surrendering a bloop double to WSU's Matt Argyropoulos. He then retired six of the final seven batters he faced and finished with a career-high 10 strikeouts to become the first Oregon pitcher to record a complete-game shutout since the program was reinstated last season.

It also was the first time the Ducks had shutout a Pac-10 opponent since a 3-0 victory at Washington on May 8, 1976.

LaTempa (4-2, 2.64) is scheduled to make his next start Saturday when the 15th-ranked Ducks play Oregon State in a regionally televised game at Goss Stadium in Corvallis.
